Obama's silence
People across the world became hopeful and happy when Barack Obama was elected US president, thinking that they were going to get rid of the ruthless terms of President Bush. But Obama's silent support to Israel's massacre is making people frustrated and they are losing their trust in him. Just at the moment US is the most powerful country of the world and their support to anything gains the highest weight. Israel is continuing its barbaric attacks upon the innocent Gaza people. Gaza has become the death-trap for thousands of helpless women and children. In the name of weakening Hamas they are carrying out both air strikes and land attacks on the densely populated areas of civilians and killing the innocent.
Israel is fulfilling its long time wish and at the same time the Arab world is divided on the issue. “The plight of the victims is beyond description. The US should not suppress the UN anymore in taking the initiative for stopping this bloodshed.
Like many other fans of Obama, I expect quick steps from him on this issue.
